 For multiple projects, try restarting the server as well.
 
+=== Expat-related segmentation faults === #expat
+
+This problem will most certainly hit you on Unix when using python 2.4.
+In Python 2.4, some version of Expat (an XML parser library written in C) is used, 
+and if Apache is using another version, this results in segmentation faults.
+As Trac 0.11 is using Genshi, which will use indirectly use Expat, that problem
+can now hit you even if everything was working fine before with Trac 0.10.
+
+See Graham Dumpleton's detailed [http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash explanation and workarounds] for the issue.
